Gremio vs Fluminense Predictions and Betting Tips
With only about a fourth of the season left to go, Gremio look to save themselves from relegation in the Brasileiro Serie A as they host Fluminense this Wednesday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Gremio have managed to win all of the last three meetings with Fluminense and although they didn't win convincingly, they did well to shut out their opposition in those three matches.
All eyes on the Arena de Gremio
Gremio did pick up their fourth straight loss of the season, seventeenth in total, against Internacional last time out in a game where we saw both teams see red. This poor run of results puts them nine adrift of safety albeit with a game on Santos who is the last safe side on the standings. Given their recent results in this fixture, the onus is on the hosts to pick up a win and it is then left to see whether they would do exactly that this Wednesday.
Fluminense, on the other hand, are currently in the top half of the standings keen on breaking into the top six and booking themselves a place in the Copa Libertadores. In their most recent game, they managed a 1-0 victory at home against Sport Recife which places them in the fifth position of the top six. Would they close the gap even further with a win here ?
Gremio vs Fluminense Prediction: 1-1
Fluminense have been heads and shoulders above their opponents this season and although they form book places them as slight favourites to secure maximum points in this fixture, we don't expect Gremio to go down easily as they head into this game not only as the hosts, they also have a psychological advantage on their side given that they have managed a victory in the last three meetings. Add to that how much they need to win this game and this tempts us to go for Gremio securing at least a point.
